EMPATHY AND COMPASSION: “Cashier Humiliates Couple Who Can’t Afford Their Groceries, but Then THIS Happens . . .” / Liberal America ☮
I recently found this story online and I felt compelled to share it. It’s about a young woman who did a beautiful thing for a young couple who was in a grocery store line with her.
Below is the story:
“After paying for my groceries today I was preparing to walk away and I see the cashier rolling her eyes and sucking her teeth as a young lady and young man, (who obviously didn’t have a lot of money) were putting up their groceries, I had a really strong feeling that I was supposed to stay close to these youngsters. Well I stayed and watched as the cashier slammed through their things — the final total was $123.40.
